Billy Apple: Sold (1981) – A Defining Moment in Conceptual Art
Elevate your collection with Billy Apple's 'Sold' (1981), a profound exploration of the intersection between art and commerce. As a pioneer of both Pop Art and Conceptualism, Billy Apple (born Barrie Bates) used his work to challenge the boundaries of the art market.
